The error message you’re encountering during the installation of Jetpack 6.1 on a Jetson Orin AGX indicates that there are issues with the installation of the nvidia-l4t-gstreamer package. Specifically, it mentions that several dependencies required by this package are not installable. These dependencies include:

  • libasound2:arm64
  • libbsd0:arm64
  • libc6:arm64
  • libdrm2:arm64
  • libegl1:arm64
  • libexpat1:arm64
  • libgcc-s1:arm64
  • libgles2:arm64
  • libglib2.0-0:arm64
  • libglvnd0:arm64
  • libxcb1:arm64

This issue typically arises due to problems with the package index or the availability of these packages in the repositories configured on your system. Here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

  1. Update Package Index: Ensure that your package index is up to date. You can do this by running the command sudo apt update on your Jetson Orin AGX. This command updates the list of available packages and their versions, which might help resolve issues related to package dependencies.

  2. Check Package Availability: Verify that the missing dependencies are available in the Ubuntu repositories for your system architecture (arm64). You can search for packages using apt search or apt-cache search commands. For example, apt-cache search libasound2 should indicate if libasound2 is available for your system.

  3. Clean and Autoremove: Sometimes, cleaning up the package database and removing unnecessary packages can help. Run sudo apt clean to remove .deb files for packages that are no longer installed, and then sudo apt autoremove to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies but are no longer needed.

  4. Install Dependencies Manually: If the dependencies are available but not being installed automatically, you can try installing them manually using apt install. For example, sudo apt install libasound2:arm64. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to dependency conflicts if not all dependencies are correctly resolved.

  5. Check for Package Conflicts: If you’ve installed packages from sources outside the standard Ubuntu repositories, there might be conflicts. Check if any manually installed packages are causing conflicts with the dependencies required by nvidia-l4t-gstreamer.

  6. Reconfigure Package Manager: In some cases, reconfiguring the package manager can resolve issues. You can try sudo dpkg --configure -a to reconfigure any unpacked but unconfigured packages.

  7. Review and Adjust Repository Sources: Ensure that your system is configured to use the correct repositories for your Ubuntu version. Sometimes, issues arise from misconfigured or outdated repository sources.

  8. Contact NVIDIA Support or Forums: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be specific to the Jetpack or the Jetson Orin AGX. In this case, reaching out to NVIDIA support or searching through their forums might provide specific solutions or workarounds for your problem.

Remember, when working with package dependencies, it’s essential to be cautious to avoid causing further conflicts or breaking your system’s package management.

Hi,

Please provide the results with below commands

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

Also provide the commands you install JP6.1

Thanks
